For example, there are many racial differences and it's odd to think that people evolved for thousands of years in fairly separate geographies would have the same outcome in genetic terms, let alone cultural norms. While government-run eugenics got bad press after the Germans gave it a bad name, the vast human eugenics programmes continue at high speed, but they have been privatized. Now, women consider the various males on offer and designate the majority of them as being unfit for continuation in the human species. With every generation having the worst winnowed from the gene pool, and women reporting fairly uniformly around the world that intelligence is a dominant trait that they seek in a bloke [with a fairly lengthy unsatisfied list of other desired features as we long-suffering blokes know], it's not surprising that the Flynn Effect exists. Nor that humans over not many thousands of years have progressed from a chimpoid state to having a big lump above our eyebrows and we can, for considerable periods of time, walk more or less upright and act passably civilized. Some of us still have compulsions to climb trees and things, sublimated these days for example in climbing poles to install cellphone towers. <Now, we have scientific data to show that Hitler's and Elmat's statements are totally incorrect and stupid - back then some people were still in doubt. > Here are some geographic differences [in intelligence] but you can find variations in swarms of other genes. That's scientific information showing your ideas are nice, but false. lagriffedulion.f2s.com Intelligence matters a lot for humans. Consider the cunning Made in China government eugenics experiment of the last few decades = 1 child meaning umpty million female foetuses were aborted. Now, with a vast shortage of females, the few remaining can choose among the swarming males on offer and pick the best of the best, leaving the others to be eliminated from the gene pool. In a single generation, China's genetic quality is going to get a big lift, even apart from the regular pressures on the unworthy. There could be some unfortunate consequences of hordes of demented young men wondering what to do with themselves and perhaps the recent mass murdering of little children is like male lions killing cubs of other males that they find. Or it could be some other reason. In NZ, stepfathers are the usual cause of carnage among infants. Mqurice
